Nonlinear dynamics

the fractal step function giving winding number against driving frequency in mode-locked systems, with a plateau for every rational ratio.

In nonlinear dynamics, devil's staircase refers to the fractal step function giving winding number against driving frequency in mode-locked systems, with a plateau for every rational ratio. This meaning comes from Jensen (1983) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
